OF Course 1t Was a Draw.

AnOka Herald.
The Killen-Cardiff fight of ten rounds
was declared a draw. We presume it
was so called because it drew S11 200
from the pockets of the fools of Minne2
apOliS, st. Paul and Duluth. When
these two whiskey sellers get hard up
again another draw will be arranged.

John l.. Gibbs for governor in 1886
would have been elected by a large ma

has declined very perceptibly, and as a
candidate in 1888, he would only aid the
cities in securing the next governor.

The theory that robbers had set fire to the
Chatsworth bridge was received by the pub
lie with full grain of allowance when 1t
was first advanced II is such common
thing for railway officials TO trump up a cloak
for their own negligence in cases of acci-
dents that the public are suspicious of all Tar
fetched theories. Now that the missing jew
elry and the amputated fingers have all been
found in the debris of the wrecked train il is
an open question whether the bridge was on
fire at all or not. The probable truth OF the
whole matter is that the fiimsey structure
went down because it was not strong enough
to hold up an overloaded train, running att
unwarranted rate of speed. 1t oughtnt to
take a coroner's jury very long to cipher that
out.
~
The scarcity of accidents on our North
western railroads is a pleasing evidence OF
the thorough system maintained by North
western railway officials in the matter OF
running trains and the care observed by them
in regard to keeping the roads in good repair.
There is perhaps no section of the country
where railroad employees are so attentive to
their respective duties as here in the North
west
1t is certain that there is no great railway
center in this country where as many cars
are handled on as small space of ground as
at the union depot in this city. 1t is mar
vel to the initiated how so many trains can
be made up and moved in and out daily
without more accidents occurring. The fact
that it is done speaks volumes for the eXecu-
tive ability of the union depot management.

There has been so much talk Of organizing
rival street railway companies and new cable
line companies all ending in wind the people
of st. Paul will be gratified to learn that
scheme is on foot to introduce the herdic
into use in this city as rival of the street
car. The proposed plan is to put herdics
on all the streets. A herdic will carry pas
sengers for 5 cents and will run up to the
sidewalks to take on and unload passengers.
a herdic will make as good time as street
car and is equally as comfortable riding. Be
sides it doesn't require any great amount of
capital to operate herdic line.

DlSAGREEABLE TRAITS.
How Many Good Men and Women Make
 Themselves Unpopular.

How Many Good Men and Women Make
 Themselves Unpopular.
 "There are people,, said an old di. vine. s.who lead us heavenward, but they stick pins in us all the way.n Of these was certain English poet, whose hymns have strengthened many a fainting soul. But the poet had such a habit of shilling and hawking, that his best friends could scarcely endure his company. Of these, too, was we'll known American woman, foremost in the last generation as reformer and philanthropist. Nobody ever doubted her purity of soul or the power of her intellect; her name now is cited as that of one of the most brilliant conversers which America ever produced. But in reality she talked as soon as she had a moments cessation, raising her voice to drown anyreply which was ventured. Friend and foe wearied of the never ending chatter, of which "I' was both the center and circumference. Of this unfortunate class, too. are many ob- scure good people, such, for example, as Godfrey C.. He began, like Her. cules, to be hero in his cradle. Even as a baby he was generous, and bore pain without whimper As man he was large-natured, liberal, the leader in every helpful work in his State, faithful to his family, for whom he drudged until his strength failed from overwork and he died in middle age. Yet it taxed the patience of friend, wife or child to be an hour in the company of this earnest, affectionate man. He would bang doors, he would clap a sick woman on the back, he would shout out inquiries as to your deafness or poverty before a room full of peoples he shov- eled his food into his mouth with his knife, he wore coats and shirts stained with tobacco, he discussed your private affairs whenever he met you. Yet he never understood why his wife was ashamed of him, or why his children managed to keep him out of their little parties. He went to his grave with a sore heart because of these hurts.
 Much of the misery of life comes to men and women because of little dis agreeable traits which obscure their real character, precisely as a mist does a fine mirror, Such traits are usually only the result of stubborn self-will. They arc petty habits, acquired in childhood. which the boy refuses to give up simply because they are his own. God, who sees the heart, looks beneath these outward appearances. but the world too often secs no deeper than the surface, and judges the man by them. - Yonth's Companion

BEAUTIFUL CORFU.
A Charming Island Known as the Garden
 of the Mediterranean.


 And thus, between these islands and "Albania, the good ship proceeds to Corfu, that garden of the Mediter- ranean, and anchors in its beautiful land-locked bar. exactly twelve hours after leaving Brindisi. One gasps in the effort to describe these lovely spots of earth. Dante is far more impress sive when his genius puts forth its strength iii the "Inferno" than when he writes his sParadiso;" and similarly one does not feel the Limitations of one's powers in the attempted depletion of the commonplace. But it is with Corfu as with sweet Helen of Troy, who paralyzed the pen, and was best to be seen portrayed in the wonder and admiration of those who were privi- legged to come face to face with her. One leans over the side of the ship, and, as it were, absorbs in silence into one's system the soft contour of it's many sided hills; the stately grace of it's cy- presses growing in the town and crest ing the dark rock which, even as a ioltitSS, lllipitSsto Witu ltc stl1hiibty rather than it's strength; the mellow color of it's old Venetian houses, green and white, soaring high against the blue heavens; the clamor of its boat men, discordant enough when one has personal interest in the hubbub, but otherwise merely strange sounds in n strange place; the orange sails of its fishing-boats at anchor in the bay, their big prows carved with uncouth saints and figures; the ruined islands hard by, and the distant rocks of the Lazzaretto against background of deep foliage where gardens and orange-groves run to the waters edge; the Venetian cam paniles of its churches; the villas and villages nesting in the hooks of the hills and the mountains, two thousand feet and more above the sea level; and the majestic gray hills with their snow capped attendants on the Albanian shore, which, at distance of five or six miles, form firm bar on the eastern side of the harbor. There can be no more beautiful port in the world than this of Corfu.

 Uncle Sam does not deal in credits. He pays cash and sees that he gets cash. In our vaults here we have many thousands of dollars, and we daily handle an immense amount, but we do not receive checks--certilied or otherwise. When the banks want to do business at the sub-treasury they bring cash, as for instance local banks correspondent in the country sends here for so much silver-say 5000. He sends check to us, and we notify the local bank, which then deposits the money, receiving the check, and we ship the silver free We do Io banking business, our duty being to supply the people with currency, being the medium of exchange between the Government and it's citizens. The notes of national banks are legal ten- ders, but we protect ourselves against them. They are accumulated to a given amount at Washington, and the banks are ordered to redeem them. Then, if one of these banks here is so notified, it sends deposit to us to cover the amount of the notes, and after we ship the money to Washington the notes are delivered by us to the bank and goes again into circulation. We do credit with one person on-the pension agent of this distfict--for certain amount to cover the quarterly payments, but that is charged to the disbursing oflice.-St. LouiS Globe Democrat.
